Graham Allison, a political scientist, stated that Xi Jinping views the Thucydides Trap as the "best diagnosis" of China's challenge with Washington, signaling awareness of potential conflict. Xi reportedly discussed this with Donald Trump, understanding that "business as usual" could lead to a catastrophic war.
